subh-dam roti jo teri bazm se jati hai shama

subh-dam roti jo teri bazm se jati hai shama
saf mere soz-e-gham ka rang dikhlati hai shama
jis tarah kale ke man ke ru-ba-ru gul ho charagh
dekh kar tawiz-e-zulf-e-yar bujh jati hai shama


sirf parwana adab se dam-ba-khud rahta nahin
tere roab-e-husn se mahfil mein tharraati hai shama
gher lete hain tujhe parwane us ko chhod kar
jis mein tu ho kab farogh us bazm mein pati hai shama


karband-e-adl hote hain jo hain raushan-dimagh
bazm mein har samt yaksan nur pahunchati hai shama
parda-e-fanus se bahar nahin rakhti qadam
ru-ba-ru tere rukh-e-raushan ke sharmati hai shama


ja-e-girya sohbat-e-ahle--tamasha hai 'asar'
hai baja roti hui jo bazm mein aati hai shama
